Environment data

  • VS Code version: 1.56.2
  • Extension version (available under the Extensions sidebar): v2021.5.829140558
  • OS and version: Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS
  • Python version (& distribution if applicable, e.g. Anaconda): Python3
  • Type of virtual environment used (N/A | venv | virtualenv | conda | ...): venv
  • Relevant/affected Python packages and their versions: NA
  • Relevant/affected Python-related VS Code extensions and their versions: NA
  • Value of the python.languageServer setting: Pylance

The experiment is not showing explicitly that we are in the venv environment, as it was before.
Which makes it uncomfortable to use because we do not have any clue if the extension is in fact respecting the virtual-environment/interpreter chosen for the project or not.
